<p>The master currently stores each logfile in a single file, which may have a
standard compression applied.</p>
<p>The format is a special case of the netstrings protocol - see
<a class="reference external" href="http://cr.yp.to/proto/netstrings.txt">http://cr.yp.to/proto/netstrings.txt</a>. The text in each netstring
consists of a one-digit channel identifier followed by the data from that
channel.</p>
<p>The formatting is implemented in the LogFile class in
<code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">buildbot/status/logfile.py</span></code>, and in particular by the <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">merge</span></code>
method.</p>
